Roundup Ready Xtend Crop System

Help maximize yield potential and weed control through effective and economical weed management options

Roundup Ready® Xtend Crop System for soybeans is intended to provide farmers with more consistent, flexible control of weeds, especially tough-to-manage and glyphosate-resistant weeds, and to help maximize crop yield potential. The launch of the Roundup Ready® Xtend Crop System is pending regulatory approvals.

Roundup Ready 2 XtendTM Soybeanswill contain the Genuity® Roundup Ready 2 Yield® trait technology stacked with a trait that contains tolerance to dicamba. This Genuity Roundup Ready 2 Yield trait technology offers farmers the highest yield opportunity with more beans per pod and more bushels per acre. Roundup Ready 2 XtendTM soybeans, once approved, will be the industry’s first biotech product with tolerance to both glyphosate and dicamba herbicides.

Upon regulatory approvals,Roundup® Xtend Herbicidewill be a premix of the herbicides dicamba and glyphosate, designed to manage weeds before planting and as an over-the-top option on Roundup Ready 2 Xtend crops during the season. With multiple modes of action, this low volatility dicamba formulation, premixed with glyphosate, is expected to provide farmers an additional choice for broad control of weeds, especially glyphosate-resistant and tough-to-control broadleaf weeds, and to extend application and planting flexibility, including lengthening the window for post-emergence applications.

Roundup Ready PLUS™ Weed Management Solutions Platform

The concept of the Roundup Ready Xtend Crop System will be an integral component of Monsanto’s Roundup Ready PLUS™ Weed Management Solutions platform. Roundup Ready PLUS offers weed management recommendations that are developed in conjunction with leading academics, agronomists, and other industry partners for control of tough weeds. The recommendations focus on multiple modes of action, including the use of pre-emergence applied residual herbicides in combinations with Roundup® brand agricultural herbicides. Roundup Ready PLUS also offers financial incentives to help farmers offset the cost of using qualifying residual herbicides.

Stewardship for Roundup Ready Xtend Crop System for Soybeans

Monsanto is committed to the success of farmers, the durability of our technologies and providing practical, flexible and cost-effective recommendations to growers. We are currently developing comprehensive Application Requirements for the Roundup Ready Xtend Crop System for soybeans to educate growers and commercial applicators on the proper stewardship practices and proper use of the technology.
